Slow revival seen in merger-acquisition dealmaking   The rebound in the deals market from last year’s abysmal depths could take a while longer than earlier expected due to the delays in the interest rate cuts by the US Fed, continued antitrust concerns, and the ramifications of it being an election year.   According to a new survey conducted around 15 merger-arbitrage and event-driven desks, analysts, brokers, and fund managers believe that the mergers and acquisitions business in the US remained less robust than they expected post the surge start of 2024.   While transaction values exceeded $300 billion for the second straight quarter, the revival was front-loaded and inflated by a spurt of mega deals at the start of 2024, including a couple that went beyond $30 billion. However, the momentum has since fizzled in March, it said.

Over the last year, the number of private equity investors providing capital for growth to young companies has fallen… According to research by Beauhurst, the volume of transactions has fallen by 15% since 2020. Increased interest rates and general economic uncertainty have played their parts in this along with the fact that there are fewer ‘exits’ available for investors at attractive values than was hitherto the case. In contrast, there has been a significant increase in mergers and acquisitions activity among more mature companies in 2023. This has been more prevalent among private equity investors and consolidators in the professional services sector. This trend underscores the more cautious approach investors are taking. These trends are expected to continue in the UK for the foreseeable future, given the prevailing economic and political situation.
